New approach to the brief

Unfortunetly, I could not be in Bath for the visit to Bath uni to see where the people from the sustainable chemical technologies center work. It was a very last minute arrangement that I could not attend. However, I arranged for Jordan to take notes for me. We had decided that we were going to collaborate on this project. When I arrived back in Bath today, I was updated with what had happened in their meeting at Bath University. Andy Ashwin had documented the visit and so I got to see photographs of what the labs look like.

They are exactly as I imagined them to be. They are littered with test tubes, clonical flasks and large scientific experiments .On the walls are chemical structure diagrams and chemical equations. 

I was also told about their meeting after the tour of the labs in the bar of the uni. It has been decided that the project will now be a group project as there are only four of us that are wanting to be involved in it. This is quite surprising considering that there was over 15 of us at the initial presentation. I presume it is because of the lengthy wait that we have had between the initial meeting and this catch up. 

During this informal chat they have brainstormed ideas. A break through idea has come about which is a solution to all of the 4 science briefs.When thinking about associations with science and chemestry, something that immediately springs to mind is the orange helix stencils. Everybody has seen one. They are used at schools for designing experiments.

 The symbols are extremely simple but illustrate the chemistry equipment with great effectiveness. Imagine at the science fares if these stencils were created on a massive scale, using symbols which illustrate the 4 talks! This idea is the breakthrough that we have been searching for and the idea that we are going to take forwards. The strong orange and the white shapes could be the colour scheme. If everybody from bath uni at the science fare was wearing this colour and the entire stand utalised this intense orange then they would stand out from the rest of the stalls. Now that we have commited ourselves to an idea that we are going to take forwards, we need to prepare a document which illustrates the idea to the Bath uni guys in the meeting that we have arranged on Monday.
